    Shift kits?

    Gotcha! Makes some sense. This is what I am after. Thanks for the info! I have researched the kits but maybe not deep enough. The reviews for the kits are just about the install, not about how they perform. Sounds like trans go has 2 votes and b&m 1. Yessir I do! No such thing as too much...

    Shift kits?

    Perfect. I don't plan on racing "JW" but it'd be nice if someone's being a jerk at a light to be able to take off and be able to keep up and keep people from cutting me off. I've got an adjustable modulator coming so that should help with shifts too.

    Shift kits?

    Does it chirp the tires on evey shift? I see most kits come with 2 settings towing or street/strip. Both seem to quicken the shifts but seems one hits harder than the other.

    Shift kits?

    I used the search button and "shift" was searched but "kit" was too common to bring anything up. Nothing conclusive on what kits people are using if they have installed one. Or if in our heavy trucks are they worth installing? I watched the TransGo video install in aTH350 on YouTube from 1978...

    TH350 does nothing when going into gear

    fingers crossed that nothing is messed up. although I do have a pare TH350 in the garage that has a shift kit... so I am prepared I just dont want to go through taking the old out and putting new in... Ill let ya know Friday if it was just the fluid low or not.

    quick easy-ish 350 upgrades

    Gears will help with that too. Advice I've been given is put the H pipe as close to the engine as you can. Believe Rich said right behind the transfer case and you should be good. I have the 2452 headers which are the 2wd version of 2453. I wish though I would've gotten something different as...

    quick easy-ish 350 upgrades

    Answer your question with a question. A question you should've asked yourself in the very beginning. What is your goal(s) for your truck? Street, sreet/strip, strip, towing? More economy or power? Once you answer that then your budget will control most of it. I just converted my '87 to a...

    TH350 does nothing when going into gear

    That's the next thing I'm afraid of having to check. I didn't have any extra fluid in the garage and couldnt go get any at the time. Okay I was worried that I might've fried the transmission with the engine running and revving on little fluid inside the case. I know there is some bc the...

    TH350 does nothing when going into gear

    well might have figured it out. after getting my exhaust buttoned up today I ran the engine up to operating temps and remembered to check the dipstick. no wonder it probably hasnt leaked with the new stick is bc theres no fluid on the dipstick. I suppose it leaked that much out when we pulled...

    Exhaust Manifold with O2 bung...

    I still have my stock manifolds from my '87 and yes the drivers side has the O2 bung on it. If you just need the drivers side I'll let it go it's just sitting in the garage, the pass side has a crack in the manifold.

    TH350 does nothing when going into gear

    My '87 has a non lockup TH350 and was pulled out over a year ago and went back in without any problems. Hooked everything up that we disconnected then and even went on a drive to make sure everything was copacetic. After we got the motor back in a few weeks ago and actually running on its own...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    got my wiring issue figured out from last night. hooked up the wires Saturday and Sunday attempted to connect the battery. to no avail nothing but a small click happened in the starter. turns out there was a bad connection at the battery with a small amount of corrosion. heres the video of...

    Not getting enough power?

    Just checked the voltage on the battery out of the truck and it's reading 12.65 volts so maybe the amperage is too low. I'm going to attempt to jump and see what happens. See if the headlights will come on and crank.

    Not getting enough power?

    Strike that I have an aftermarket volt gauge I can just hook into key on power and it should read the voltage the battery is putting out or drops for any reason.

    Not getting enough power?

    The thought crossed my mind to just use jumper cables off my car parked in front of it but thought nah probably won't work. Maybe I'll try that when I get home. if all is copacetic the lights should come on, horn should work and for the life of me cannot remember if there's a chime when the keys...

    Not getting enough power?

    I thought that and went back through everything just to be sure and everything seems to be good, minus that one set of cables coming out by the ECM plug. Then I got to thinking, if there was a bad ground or connection there wouldnt be anything happening when turning the key. right? the...

    Not getting enough power?

    I am at the end of my carb swap from tbi... I eliminated all of the original harness minus the main battery cable down to the big(middle post) of the starter, the purple ignition wire to the small post nearest the block on the starter, red wire coming off the junction box on the firewall down to...

    Convenional vs Synthetic

    Havoline Conventional 10w30 is all I run in mine. Being that the Midwest can't get Chevron Delo except in 5w40 synthetic and 15w40 weights. My dad retired with Chevron and was a chemical/oil engineer for them and helped with the buying of Texaco's oil division. So it's been our families opinion...
